Our 1st Booker's Whiskey Review! - Booker’s Springfield Batch

[@3Bourboneers]

How are you feeling about Booker's these days?!

[@paulgrace1279]

Personally, I've stopped acquiring the Booker's releases going forward - doesn't make any sense given the quality of the product (generally speaking from release to release) compared to other similar offerings. Money better spent on ECBP and LBP releases and OF Single Barrel (blue label) offerings - AND - JD SBBP bourbon and rye.

I definitely don’t (and will never) buy every batch, but will hunt down a new booker’s whenever I don’t have an open one on the shelf. Definitely one of the best mouthfeels in bourbon.

[@3Bourboneers]

That’s a good strategy. Just a bottle that you have to have at least 1 on the shelf!

[@WombatAnnihilator]

I definitely enjoy the Bookers Ive tried.

[@3Bourboneers]

We have heard both good and bad about them. Seems to be mostly good though!

[@paulgrace1279]

All Booker's are generally hot in my opinion - and I regularly drink all the cask strength offerings from the legacy distilleries

[@3Bourboneers]

Yes we have heard that these are typically hot. Going to get used to it!

[@paulgrace1279]

@@3Bourboneers a few drops of water typically helps the Booker's releases - same with Old Forester Single Barrel (blue label) offerings.

[@BrianVaughn]

I think Booker's is enjoyable but not something I'd buy each release. Might be interesting to blind it against ECBP.

[@3Bourboneers]

Very comparable to ECBP. We are planning on doing some blinds with more barrel proof products. This bookers will definitely be included!

[@paulgrace1279]

ECBP generally better on balance

[@3Bourboneers]

ECBP are very comparable to Bookers, no doubt!

[@JacobHiebing]

RCCW!

[@3Bourboneers]

Electrifying!

[@paulgrace1279]

don't get sucked in to the names - I gave up collecting them at the end of 2023 - I have multiple years worth of the bottles - don't do it

[@3Bourboneers]

We wish we could, but, the reviews must keep coming!

[@PNW_bourbon_buds]

Way too many bad batches for me to buy them again.

[@3Bourboneers]

That is what we have heard. A lot of ups and downs with them over the years.
